TEAMS INTERESTED IN CLASS B OR ARE APPROVED AS CLASS B PLEASE NOTE:
There has been some confusion concerning Class B teams and
adding additional players. Any team that is classified as 'B' and wishes
to add additional players to their roster must submit the player(s)
names
to the MAJOASA office for review and possible reclassification
of the team.
Also any team that wishes to register as a Class B team MUST
have a complete rosters submitted. Any team that submits a roster, but
is still looking for additional players, will be classified as
Unclassified until
the MAJOASA sees the final roster. Please do not submit your
roster to the MAJOASA office until your team roster is set if you want
the MAJOASA staff to classify you properly.
Finally teams wishing to be classified as 'B' are concerned
that the process may take too long so they cannot play in the State
Championships. These teams should do two things. First submit your State
Tournament
application and fee now before your finalize your roster. The
MAJOASA will hold the application until the Class B status has been
determined. If you don't qualify, your money will be returned. Secondly,
if you get
all your paperwork to the MAJOASA office by May 1, 2008. You
will have an answer back in time to appeal and still make the June
deadline for States.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact me.

TEAMS WISHING TO REGISTER INDIVIDUALLY, PLEASE NOTE:
Teams that register with the MAJOASA on-line (individual
registration) do not need to complete a travel registration form. Your
registration fee is included in the invoice amount you will pay to the
MAJOASA.
The only exception to this will be those teams wishing to register as
Class 'B' teams. The MAJOASA will still need the Class
'B' registration forms completed and sent in along with your invoice and
check.
Once the MAJOASA has received all of the forms, the MAJOASA will make
the proper classification. Only send in a check for the amount listed on
your invoice. Do not add the registration fee listed on the
Class 'B' Travel Team Registration Form as this amount is already in the
individual registration invoice amount.
Teams that have already registered for the 2008 season with the MAJOASA
and wish to get ID cards for your players (either with or without
picture ID's), can do so through individual registration, but you will
need to reduce the amount of the invoice by your registration fee you
already sent to the MAJOASA.
If you have any questions concerning individual registration and its
benefits to your team, league and ASA, please e-mail me.

Bollinger Insurance Update
Just a reminder to all 2007 MAJOASA registered teams and leagues. You
must register with the MAJOASA for the 2008 season before you can order
your 2008 insurance
from Bollinger. Boillinger has sent me all the renewal forms for all
teams and leagues. When you send in your 2008 registration forms, please
indicate on them if you wish for
me to e-mail you the renewal form or e-mail you the username and
password to get insurance on-line. Renewing your insurance on-line will
enable you to print out the insurance
certificate the same day. Don't forget that the MAJOASA offers
individual registrations which saves teams and leagues money over the
old system of getting registered and insurance
separately. For further information on individual registration, please
